Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the occurrence of vancomycin-variable enterococci (VVE) in a hospital in central Italy. METHODS: vanA positive but vancomycin-susceptible Enterococcus faecium isolates (VVE-S) were characterized by antibiotic susceptibility tests, molecular typing (PFGE and MLST), and WGS approach. The reversion of VVE-S to a resistant phenotype was assessed by exposure to increasing vancomycin...
